Flower Types to consider:
Alyssum: Reliable, fragrant upright filler in white, pink, and purple. Alyssum is exceptionally easy to grow and fills in beautifully, often reseeding itself.
Lobelia: Tumbling cascades of color in white, sky blue, dark blue, red, lavender, and pink. Simply great in window boxes.
Pansies: Perfect in any box or garden tub or container. Pansies offer prolific colour in many hues and will quickly fill gaps between plants. Our best-selling bedding plants by far- Tipperary's favourite.
Petunias: Choose these when you want a stunning summer box that shines in the sun. Try trailing varieties, as well as uprights, for an abundance of blooms in a wide range of colours.
Impatiens: The plant for shade, and awesome in window boxes — especially valuable for continuous colour in a range of hues. Impatiens are more commonly known as 'Busy Lizzy'
Geranium: Also ideal in hanging baskets, this one also works really well in window boxes, available in both upright and trailing stems covered with bright vivid flowers. Easy to grow and care for, long lasting.
Ivy: stems spill from your window box in green or variegated tones.
It’s good to remember that salad leaves, lettuce and herbs can all be grown in a window box too. Ideal for any kitchen window.
Plastic window boxes are available in store in many sizes and colours. Many types of composts, fertilisers and feeds are too. Our garden centre is alive with scent and colour.
